Viral Before Valentine’s Day: Parambrata and Isha Open Up About On-Screen Kisses

As Valentine’s Day approaches with roses, chocolates, and romantic gestures filling the air, a kissing scene featuring popular Tollywood actors Parambrata Chattopadhyay and Isha Saha has suddenly gone viral on social media. The clip has sparked fresh conversations about love on screen—are such moments purely professional, or do real emotions ever get involved?

In a recent media interaction, both actors addressed the curiosity surrounding on-screen intimacy. Parambrata emphasized that kissing scenes are simply part of the craft of acting. According to him, singling out any particular on-screen kiss as “memorable” would unnecessarily dramatize what is essentially a professional responsibility.

Reflecting on his first on-screen kiss, Parambrata mentioned the film Dosar, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh. In that film, he shared a scene with senior actress Pallavi Chatterjee. He admitted feeling nervous at the time, especially acting opposite a more experienced co-star, but described it as part of growing into the profession.

Isha Saha, on the other hand, appeared more reserved when discussing the topic. She noted that what audiences perceive as passionate moments on screen often involve technical coordination, camera angles, and significant pressure during filming. For her, certain personal emotions are best kept private. While she acknowledged experiencing her first kiss during her college years, she dismissed the idea that a “first” moment must necessarily be the most unforgettable. According to her, it is the sweetness of a memory—not its chronology—that determines whether it lingers.

Public displays of affection may be widely accepted in many parts of the world, but in South Asian societies they can still trigger debate. Isha believes that how and when emotions are expressed publicly should remain a personal choice. Some may feel comfortable sharing their affection openly; others may prefer discretion—and both choices deserve respect.

As the season of love unfolds, the viral scene has become more than just a cinematic moment. It has reignited conversations about the line between performance and personal emotion—and about how love, whether real or scripted, continues to captivate audiences both on and off the screen.
